Untangling a Rapunzel party

 

Disney's new take on the old story of Rapunzel has not only created a new avenue for really girly princess type parties with a twist, but has also taught us all a valuable lesson about the usefulness of frying pans.

In the movie Tangled lanterns play an important part in the story and so of course when having a Tangled party they need to be a feature. For this party we used chinese lanterns for their pretty colors and elegant effect as well as making some paper lanterns to mimic those in the movie that they light and set off into the sky. These were easy to make using paper bags and simply adding the sun from the movie. We then strung them up over the party area.

      

 

For Tangled parties the purple and yellow make a great bold color combination and of course work with the movie's theme colors.

For this party we had only a food table which we alternated the colors in tablecloths as well as tissue paper pompoms which acted as the centre piece.

For another Tangled Party, we had the kiddie's tables setup for them to sit at and with the colors this turned out to be a banquet table fit for a princess.

Another decor item which is a lovely element for a Rapunzel party is to plait wool into long plaits and drape them around the party area.

In terms of food there are a number of cute ideas for a Tangled party. We have done cookies, cake pops, cone towers and lollipops

                         
                                   

The Tangled cake I did was the choice of the birthday girl who apparently is already a hopeless romantic as she wanted it to have the boat scene from the movie with Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder. And of course it had to be pink.

            

For the party packs I decided to play off the idea of Rapunzel stuck in her tower, but because there were going to be boys at the party as well and they wouldn't really be that happy receiving a lilac girly party bucket, for them I made castle boxes.

The thank you tags were frying pans for the girls and Flynn Ryder wanted posters for the boys. 

There are quite a few different elements to play with when it comes to hosting a Tangled party. But whatever you choose to do when it comes to this theme you are sure to have a hairy good time;)
